Kissing Dead People.

Sounds of big disturbance in a west side tenement house on a recent night, says the New York Tribune, led policeman to enter the building and inquire what was the mat ter. wake over the body of a little girl was in progress, and the room in which the child had died was crowded with friends and neighbors of the family. Liquor had been dispensed freely. Several men and women in the room were drunk and boisterous. They had been swaying back and forth and joining in the monotonous inquiry: s'Oh, why did she die?' until one of the men re- fused to follow the example of the rest and kiss the lips of the dead girl The child had died from diphtheria, and he knew it. He was assailed with epithets, and women in the room cried out: 'fShame on man who will insult a corpse!"
 ''Pm insulting no one, but I won't kiss the dead, because I've children of my own that I'll kiss when get home," said the man.
 "You're 8 coward!"
 'fIm no coward, and you're liar!"
 There were cries of "Put him out!' and Don't fghtl' The policemen got into the room in time to prevent blows from being struck, and quiet was restored by the with drawal of the man who would not receive the germs of diphtheria on his lips.
 Dr. Taylor has been informed of many wakes which have been kept up in tenement houses over the bodies of children who were victims of contagious diseases. Frequently such a wake will continue for four or five days, in violation of law, and the body of the dead child will be kissed and fondled by scores of foolish persons. The records show that about one-third of the children who have diphtheria and scarlet fever die from the diseases, and that both diseases prevail in the city at all seasons of the year. Nine tenths of the deaths are believed to be the direct result of ignorance or carelessness yet there does not appear to be any way of educating or alarming the grown-up people who are responsible.

and to whom it occurred to try whether salt water fish could not live in the salt springs of Wyhlen. He had several fish sent him from the geological garden of Frankfort-on- the-Main, but the experiment proved fail ure; most of the young fish died and he
 finally threw the survivors into an outlet Of the springs emptying into the Rhine. It seems that just there the conditions were favorable to the propagation of some of the fish. Already last May laborer while bath ing was bitten in the leg by what he de- scrlbed as large animal, but his story was not believed. Now, however, since the presence of sharks has been indubitably demonstrated, the authorities have warned the inhabitants of that region against bath ing in the Rhine. The shark lived nearly a day after it's capture and was sent to the museum at Carlsruhe

PLAYING FOR TRIPLES.
How Professional Gamblers Oy
 strain Their I.uck

I How Professional Gamblers over. l strain Their Luck.
 l Gamblers are forever queering their own
 luck" said a professional gentleman the oth-
 CT day, in referring to an article on the su- perstitions of the fraternity, to New York
 Evening Sun writer. "They do it-Rith mat
 inee tickets sometimes and again in straining
 for new suit of clothes. Then there's try ing to win enough to pay trifing sum with | out breaking large bill. I've seen more l fellows 'broke' for good that way than you I could count in a day."
 ':I don't quite understand what matinee | tickets, new suit of clothes or changing a l bill can have to do with bad luck,'' replied l the writer
 Everything very often. But I'll explain. Say that a gambler has been playing faro bank from midnight until noon, and he has made good winning-call it five hundred dollars. He is feeling pretty good, but is | tired and wants little recreation. He gets up and cashes in his checks. Then it strikes him that, being Wednesday or Saturday, he'll just run over to 8 matinee. Of course 8 thoroughbred gambler never thinks of pay ing for anything out of hand if he can win the price out of the bank So he steps over to the table again to win out the price of
 matinee tickets for two. In nine cases out ot ten that turns his luck, and it's big odds | that before he gets done he'll sblow in the whole five hundred dollars he won during | the night, and probably sift in after it every | cent he has on earth, and all on account of a paltry three dollars for matinee tickets. "Again he is likely after winning for 8 long time to get the notion that he'll win ! just enough more to buy new suit It's ! almost invariably a rank hoodoo. Away l will go his whole pile. I lost more money | than I've seen now for six months that way l in St. Louis in 19S0 I saw Mike Mcdonald years ago in Chicago drop nine hundred dol lars simply because he was bound to win 8 ! seventy-ive cent cravat
 Breaking bill is another dead sure blk. One night saw old Joe Parrish, who was in Omaha the last I heard of him, lose four ! thousand dollars every cent he had on earth ! I-trying to change twenty dollar bill for 8 'busted' friend. Parrish was clean eight hundred dollar winner in all afternoons play. He had cashed in and was going home. At the door he met his friend, who ! asked for five dollars. Joe went back and dropped a twenty dollar bill, the smallest in | his roll on the high card. He lost and sent l fifty dollars after it. Then he got hot and, l with his overcoat still on, he played in his to his 'busted' friend and said quietly:
 There, confound youl I hope you're satis- l fed
 'fBut could go on giving illustrations for | two days. Every old gambler has grist of yarns about the horrible ways he has hoo- ! dooed himself playing for some stupid trife. I've got fifty stories, all true, from my own l table to play little flyer after having made I large winning he's a 'goner.' But we all do it time and again. Why? Oh, because we're gamblers I guess."

UTILIZING WATERFALLS.

There is more and more talk in this country about using some of the immense ! water power of the Niagara river in the schemes is to make electricity in great quan- ] titles there for distribution. The Niagara of Europe, the name which has been given to the Falls of the Rhine at Schaffhausen, Switzerland, is also likely to be made useful 7, although the eantonal government at Zurich has just denied the application of company which wanted to take fifteen hundred horse power from it. This company proposes to establish works for the manufacture of alum mum, to employ five hundred workmen or more, and to invest two and half million dollars in the enterprise. Their scheme has provoked an interesting and instructive dis- cussion. It is strongly opposed by the hotel keepers and others interested in the tourist
 business, who say that the beauty of this cataract brings thousands of visitors to Switzerland every year, who spend millions of francs to the great advantage of trade and the welfare of the people. Supplying the wants of these visitors is Switzerland's most profitable industry, the only one that is cer- tain and permanent, beyond the reach of for eign competition. Therefore they say Switz erland cannot afford to allow the natural at fractions of the country to be in any degree diminished, but, on the contrary, it is for the true interest of the people to protect and enhance these natural beauties, even at some cost The company makes a good re- ply to this by saying: The fear that the pro- posed works would make the falls less attractive to tourists is unreasonable, for in the summer, the tourist season, the river is so swollen by the melting snows from the Alps that the quantity of water taken for the mills would not perceptibly lessen the vol ume of the cataract. Moreover they say that it it were proposed to build a cotton mill, or to set up some other industry already established elsewhere, it would be reason able to answer that there is no need of Schaffhausen. But this company offers to establish 8 wholly new industry, the man. ufacture of aluminium by new process, which will make 1t cheap enough to be advantageously employed for many uses for which it is now too costly that the demand for it will be steady and increas- ing, and it will be of immense advantage to Switzerland, whose artisans find them- selves hard pressed by competition on every side, to have this new indus try, capable of indefinite expansion, first set up and proftably conducted in it's territory.
 It seems that the company has the best of the argument, though it's argument has not sufficiently impressed the cantonal govern ment.

Some think that the number of undesirable emigrants that come to this country is small but Dr. Schultz, who has examined all who have arrived at Castle Garden for the past seven years, says that fifty per cent. of the immigration of the past few years is unde- sirable and half of this fifty per cent. is a positive burden to the country. The author ity to send back immigrants covers only about one-half of one per cent. of the total immigration. These paupers mostly go West and find their way into the poornouses and asylums. Dr. Schultz says that the con- tract system among the Italians is still maintained, and bands of them, whose pas sage is paid by contractors, come over in every ship.

Dr. Woods Hutchinson suggests in the North American Review that there be a revolution in the relations between physician and patient which will lead to sort of "health insurance" His idea is that the head of each family should pay stated sum to his physician annually, and that in return the physician should visit the home on the slightest ailment, give advice of sanitary as well as of medical nature, inspect the prem ises at least quarterly and make such sugges-
 tions in regard to sanitary conditions as shall seem to him necessary. He argues that under such system there would be no re- straint in calling the services of a physician, on account of expected expense, and the physician could more easily arrest disease in the early stages to which he would be called.
